Search contacts based on modification source

Developer Support APIs & Integrations

Using the API I’m using the search endpont for contacts and want to exclude records from certain modification sources.

For example, when an email is sent, some contact record properties (eg Marketing emails delivered) are updated which updates the Last modified date. In property history I can see this was updated by Source: Email Activity.

The ‘Updated by user id’ property is not updated by these source changes and I can’t see any other property related to last updated by source.

Is there a way I can exclude records last updated by Source: Email Activity in the API?

If not, is there a way I can get use a workflow to write this value to the Contact record so I can then search on that custom property, and if yes, how would I configure that?

Thanks for your help.

Hi there,
You can use any of these operator accroding to your scenario or according to your field type to exclude the records from the list.

Thanks for the response. The question though relates to filtering based on the source of the last update. Do you know if that property can be searched on/accessed in any way?
